Very cool accomodation in the old Church. Respectfully kept some of the gestures of the church like some of the beams and rafters and the stained glass. Great communication with the owners who were very accomodating to our requests Thanks so much

We were very disappointed with this property. In the apartment the underfloor heating in one bathroom did not work. The jets in the showers did not work. Two of the taps were not fixed to the sinks and spun around when used. There were cracks in the walls. The entrance way was not clean. There was a lot of rubbish outside Apartment 3. The parking was a nightmare. There was no fresh milk. For the price, this was simply not acceptable. I sent an email to the property and pointed out our concerns - they didnt even respond.

Stylish and interesting apartments in the middle of town, it was a great place to stay. We loved our apartment, very cozy yet historic. We had no problems parking in the spot provided. The apartment was very warm and cozy, but if your someone who really needs fresh breezes and windows out to the open, you might not enjoy it here. There are also a lot of stairs, which was fine for us.

Stayed in the two bedroom apartment, great size and well equipped. Was concerned that it may have been too cold being an old chapel but had no issues at all. Highly recommend.

Clever restoration, squeezing apartment boxes inside the chapel without harming the heritage listed building. Given that this meant only one small opening window, I would not want to stay more than a few days. Great service and location... just not pleasant marinating in my own farts (due to bathroom and bedrooms having no fresh air.

Great location, and parking included

We stayed in a studio apartment on New Years Eve. Needed somewhere close to the centre of Dunedin, but not close enough to be noisy. Very useful to have parking as it was very busy. The apartment was well-furnished and very clean, and had everything we needed. One small problem was that the set-top box was in a different part of the room to the TV, and out of range from where I was sitting, which made it a bit awkward. Otherwise, all well.

Very unique building being an old church. Great location to the heart of Dunedin and The Octagon for food and entertainment. Parking could be a problem but we timed it perfectly for free street parking overnight.

Unable to contact manager to resolve problems

The check in whiteboard in the main lobby gave our apartment number & keypad code for access but no indication that Apt 3 wasn't in the main building so it took me quite a while to realise I had to go out of the building, along the street, round the corner into the next street and up the hill to find the apartment in an annexe behind the main building! The apartment itself was lovely, well-equipped, very clean and quirky (the bedroom & bathroom were on a mezzanine up a spiral staircase) being originally a church. The heat pump & heated bathroom floor worked very well. BUT although the TV worked fine in the afternoon, in the evening all we got was sound & no picture. WiFi was erratic & unreliable to the extent that it was unusable. We tried many times to contact the manager but the phone in the lobby with a button for "Manager" just got the engaged tone. The room guide had an 0800 number that was wrong (or out of date) and a mobile number that just went to answerphone. The guide also had a note from "Hannah" (the Manager was "Jon" elsewhere) about WiFi problems over the holiday season that should be fixed in the New Year (!) Other information in the guide was obviously out of date too, e.g. the heat pump instructions said to put a key card in a slot, neither of which existed; there were references to Cadbury World and the Cadbury factory, which closed in 2018 and 2019, respectively, so we eventually decided that the phone numbers must also be out of date and gave up with them.

Great location and nice furnishings , however the bed squeaked badly and was saggy in the middle. Shower set up is overly complicated and is broken so our shower taps leaked badly Also the windows are filthy on the outside and need regular cleaning. Could be a lot better fit the price charged

Pretty unique but really good! Lots of space with everything you need. Really enjoyed it. Some apartments don't have parking space which is annoying as the pay and display over the road was full. Not a huge deal, just took time to find a parking space.

This is an extremely unique property which is why we booked it during our recent stay in Dunedin. It’s centrally located and an easy walk to shops and restaurants. There was great communication regarding check in from the manager (Jon) prior to our arrival, and self check was easy. We stayed for one night in apartment #2. The unit was clean, and had amenities such a fridge, dishwasher and washing machine (we didn’t use it). You could see that some updates had been made. As someone who prefers to be complimentary, I’d be remiss if I didn't mention that the particular unit we stayed in could be improved greatly by removing the tattered carpet, and fixing the leak that clearly had left stains down the wall. That was a bit of a turn off to see immediately upon entering.
